I also want to add that, you can copy this cell and paste down Column A rows,
and the condition will automatically change to cell $A2, $A3, etc..

Take the $ off if you're going to paste across columns.

Change your Pattern to whatever you like.

Once the cell contains ANYTHING, it should change to your condition.
